messy, unhinged lesbian drama? count me in!

i'm not a big fan of problematic, unlikeable main characters so getting through the beginning of this was a little difficult but the promise of messy lesbians was too good to pass up!

i received this ARC through netgalley (thank you!) and i read it in the span of a handful of hours and a couple of sittings just because the dark comedy, unhinged lesbians & sapphic pop culture references in it were too enticing to put down! i really enjoyed watching the whole story unfold although i do agree with other early reviewers that the pacing of the story towards the end of the book seemed a bit rushed! 

overall: didn't love nor hate, an entertaining read for sure!

3.5 stars for me!
